The Trump administration applied to the US Supreme Court on Friday for permission to proceed with the construction of Trump's White House ballroom. The project will demolish and replace the original east wing. This 90,000-square-foot ballroom project has been involved in lawsuits since the President demolished the East Wing in October last year. The demolition of the East Wing is part of Trump's large-scale plan to remodel the White House campus. Despite the court's doubts about the legality of the project, Trump was previously allowed to continue construction, and the main ballroom project has continued to advance in recent months. Earlier, the appellate court ruled on August 7, holding that Trump is likely to have overstepped his powers by advancing this privately funded project without congressional approval.
